ABSTRACT

The present invention provides a clothing apparatus that comprises a clothing member that includes a pair of leg portions, a body portion having multiple buttons and a vertical cut in the center of the body portion, a pair of opposing arm sleeves, and a pair of foot coverings. A vest that includes a crossover neck opening and armholes is attached inside the body portion and the neck binding.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to baby clothing. More specifically, the present invention relates to baby clothing whose special design allows the user to conveniently put it on or take it off.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Baby clothing that can be put on and taken off conveniently is in demand. Clothing for children aged 0 to about 3 years of age can include a particular undergarment known as a baby grow, which is worn from birth and is used as long as the child wears diapers.

Typical baby grows can include special features in the neck to allow insertion of the child's head. To put on the baby grow, the parents can insert first the head and then the arms. Next, the baby grow can be closed by buttons, which can be often placed between the legs of the child, above the diaper. The baby grows can include multiple openings for convenience, such as an opening at the shoulder with closing buttons or an opening at the shoulder with overlapping fabric.

Companies have developed a variety of clothing apparatuses; some provide a wearable blanket in the form of a cover that can be used in conjunction with a swaddle accessory. However, many are expensive and feature uncomfortable designs whose seams and buttons are not located in places convenient for parents who need to change diapers or to open clothing or to provide additional clothing, such as vests, to adjust the temperature of the child's body.

In general, these clothing apparatuses fail to incorporate the benefits of clothing by providing a convenient and wearable garment. Thus, there is a need to provide clothing that solves the problems.

The present invention is intended to address problems associated with and/or otherwise improve on conventional devices through an innovative baby clothing apparatus that is designed to be convenient and effective without compromising the appeal of its design, while incorporating other problem-solving features.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the present invention, a clothing apparatus is provided. The clothing apparatus comprises a clothing member that includes a pair of leg portions, a body portion having multiple buttons and a vertical cut in the center of the body portion, a pair of opposing arm sleeves, and a pair of foot coverings. A vest that includes a crossover neck opening and armholes is attached inside the body portion and the neck binding.

In some embodiments, the vest may include a crossover neck opening and armholes with overlock stitching. The crossover neck opening and armholes may be defined in the vest. The present invention can be of any size and material suitable for normal children aged 0 to 3.
